first peeks at more of my poetry

The Image

She stood gazing at her reflection,
Wondering why all the attention,
Was focused not on the inside,
But on what the outside could provide.

A heart of gold I have to share,
For one special enough to dare,
Take a long look and you will see,
This is a warm, loving place to be.

My wings can lift you upward,
To heights of gentle accord,
If you give me just half a chance,
Love might find a place to dance.

Hands that can silently touch,
Not in a hurry, not ever rough,
Meant to calm the wildest soul,
Felicity has been my lonely goal.

Standing alone, solemn in the water,
She ponders things that worry her,
Curious where she went wrong,
Can I bring happiness, be strong?

Life – live it
Love – give it
Laughter – share it
These three things I do implore,
The path to happiness, and more.

Time Will Tell

Time tells all tales, good or bad,

In sadness or when you are glad,

My only concern for you today,

The choice you made will not weigh,

Forever on your heart and mind,

And life without me will be kind.

You are and always have been,

My friend; at times to my chagrin,

But no matter what has come,

We never had to bend, no need to succumb,

To what others might have felt,

We always laughed it off and dealt.

Now you are with another; I feel so cold,

No magic mirror could have foretold,

I would be lost without you in my life.

My friend has turned another knife,

It struck my heart with his silence,

And left me tearful, without defense.

Someday, if all goes well for me,

I will find another, who can be,

What you were and what you were not,

A friend who cannot be bought,

By a smile from one if I am away,

Who will stick with me and will not stray.

Time will judge all things,

I do not come with strings,

A friend to all who pass,

A heart no longer made of glass.
